A: Any SCSI device can drive the signal. Two or more SCSI devices may
drive the signal at the same time.
I: Only the SCSI device which operates as an INIT can drive the signal.
I&T: INIT, TARG, or both can drive this signal according to the interface
sequence.
In the RESELECTION phase, there is a sequence to be driven
simultaneously by both.
ID: Each SCSI device which is actively arbitrating the bus drives a unique data
bit (SCSI ID). The parity bit may be undriven or driven to the true state, but
must never be driven to the false state.
N: Not to be driven by any SCSI device. The terminator pulls the signal to the
false state.
T: Only the SCSI device which operates as an TARG can drive the signal.
W: Only one SCSI device which wins ARBITRATION can drive the signal.
